Sum of the weight of A, B, C and D = 75 × 4 = 300 kg
and average weight of A, B, C, D and E = 71 kg
sum of the weight of A, B, C, D and E
= 71 × 5 = 355 kg
weight of E = 355 – 300 = 55 kg
weight of F = 55 + 6 = 61 kg
Now, average weight of F, B, C, D and E = 72 kg
Sum of the weight of F, B, C, D and E = 72 × 5 = 360 kg
B + C + D = 360 – 55 – 61 = 244 kg.
Weight of A = 300 – 244 = 56 kg.

Let the marked price be Rs. 100 and the cost price be Rs. x
(84 - x)/x * 100 = 20
x = Rs. 70
Gain% when discount is 20 % = (80 - 70)/70 * 100 = 14 2/7%

Now, milkman sold 40 litre of mixture
So, remaining mixture = 165 – 40 = 125 litre
Quantity of water = 125 × 28/100 = 35 litre
Quantity of milk = 90 litre.
Now, milkman made new mixture in which
water = 35 + 13 = 48 litre
milk = 90 + 30 = 120 litre
Percentage of water in the new mixture
= 48/(48 + 120) * 100 = 28.57%

Let the breadth of the rectangle plot be x m.
Given, width of the path = 4 m
Area of the path = 432 m^2
and length of rectangular plot = (x + 2) m
2 × [4 (x + 2) + 4x – 2 × 4 × 4] = 432 m^2
8 (x + 2 + x – 8) = 432 m2
8 (2x – 6) = 432
16 (x – 3) = 432  x = 30 m
Area of plot = x × (x + 2) = 30 × 32 = 960 m^2

ANSWERS
1. Answer: (D)
DIFFERENCE = Rs. [(10% of 4.75) - (8% of 4.75)]
= Rs. (2% of 4.75) lakhs
= Rs. 0.095 lakhs
= Rs. 9500.
2. Answer: (D)
Let the amounts invested in 2002 in Companies P and Q be Rs. 8x and Rs. 9xrespectively.
Then, interest received after one year from Company P = Rs. (6% of 8x)
= Rs. (48x/100)
and interest received after one year from Company Q = Rs. (4% of 9x)
= Rs. (36x/100)
Required ratio = 4/3
3. Answer: (D)
4. Answer: (C)
Amount received from Company P after one year (i.e., in 199) on investing Rs. 12 lakhs in it
= Rs. [12 + (8% of 12)] lakhs
= Rs. 12.96 lakhs.
Appreciation received on investment during the period of two years
= Rs. (14.256 - 12) lakhs
= Rs. 2.256 lakhs = Rs. 2, 25,600
5. Answer: (B)
Amount received from Company Q after one year on investment of Rs. 5 lakhs in the year
1996
= Rs. [5 + (6.5% of 5)] lakhs
= Rs. 5.325 lakhs.
Amount received from Company P after one year on investment of Rs. 5.325 lakhs in the
year 1997
= Rs. [5.325 + (9% of 5.325)] lakhs
= Rs. 5.80425 lakhs
= Rs. 5, 80, 425
6. Answer: (D)
Let the expenditure in 1996 = x.
Also, let the incomes in 1996 and 1999 be I1 and I2 respectively.
Then, for the year 1996, we have:
55 =( I1 – x)/(x)*100 è I1= 155x/100 --- (1)
70 = ( I2 – x )/(x) * 100 è I2 = 170x/100 ----- (2)
From (i) and (ii), we get:

7. Answer: (C)
Let the expenditure is 1998 be Rs. x crores.
www.bankingpdf.com
Then, [65 =( 264 –x)/ x] * 100

x = 160
Expenditure in 1998 = Rs. 160 crores
8. Answer: (D)
The line-graph gives the comparison of percent profit for different years.
But the comparison of the expenditures is not possible without more data.
Therefore, the year with minimum expenditure cannot be determined.
9. Answer: (D)
From the line-graph we obtain information about the percentage profit only. To find the profit
in 2000 we must have the data for the income or expenditure in 2000.
Therefore the profit for 2000 cannot be determined.
10. Answer: (B)

Average percent profit earned for the given years
= (1/6) x [40 + 55 + 45 + 65 + 70 + 60] = 55 5/6
Read given below questions and understand the method of solving. It will help you how to
solve age related questions in Exam.
Basic Formula:
If the present age of A is ‘x’ years, the age of A, n years ago was (x-n) years, and the age of
a after n years will be (x+n) years.
1. Rajeev's age after 15 years will be 5 times his age 5 years back. What is the present age
of Rajeev ?
Sol. Let Rajeev's present age be x years. Then,
Rajeev's age after 15 years = (x + 15) years.
Rajeev's age 5 years back = (x - 5) years.
Therefore x + 15 = 5 (x - 5)
x + 15 = 5x - 25
4x = 40
x = 10.
Hence, Rajeev's present age = 10 years.
2. The ages of two persons differ by 16 years. If 6 years ago, the elder one be 3 times as
old as the younger one, find their present ages.
Sol. Let the age of the younger person be x years.
Then, age of the elder person = (x + 16) years.
Therefore 3 (x - 6) = (x + 16 - 6)
3x -18 = x + 10
2x = 28
x = 14.
Hence, their present ages are 14 years and 30 years.

3. The product of the ages of Ankit and Nikita is 240. If twice the age of Nikita is more than
Ankit's age by 4 years, what is Nikita's age?
Sol. Let Ankit's age be x years. Then, Nikita's age = 240/x years.
2 * (240 /x ) – x = 4
480 – x2 = 4x
x2 + 4x – 480 = 0
( x+24)(x-20) = 0
x = 20.
Hence, Nikita's age = 240/x = 240/20 years = 12 years.
4. The present age of a father is 3 years more than three times the age of his son. Three
years hence, father's age will be 10 years more than twice the age of the son. Find the
present age of the father.
Sol. Let the son's present age be x years. Then, father's present age = (3x + 3) years
(3x + 3 + 3) = 2 (x + 3) + 10
3x + 6 = 2x + 16
x = 10.
Hence, father's present age = (3x + 3) = ((3 * 10) + 3) years = 33 years.
5. Rohit was 4 times as old as his son 8 years ago. After 8 years, Rohit will be twice as old
as his son. What are their present ages?
Sol. Let son's age 8 years ago be x years. Then, Rohit's age 8 years ago = 4x years.
Son's age after 8 years = (x + 8) + 8 = (x + 16) years.
Rohit's age after 8 years = (4x + 8) + 8 = (4x+ 16) years.
2 (x + 16) = 4x + 16
2x = 16 => x = 8.
Hence, son's 'present age = (x + 8) = 16 years.
Rohit's present age = (4x + 8) = 40 years.
6. One year ago, the ratio of Gaurav's and Sachin's age was 6: 7 respectively. Four years
hence, this ratio would become 7: 8. How old is Sa chin ?
Sol. Let Gaurav's and Sachin's ages one year ago be 6x and 7x years respectively.
Then, Gaurav's age 4 years hence = (6x + 1) + 4 = (6x + 5) years.
Sachin's age 4 years hence = (7x + 1) + 4 = (7x + 5) years.
(6x+5): (7x + 5) = 7:8
8(6x+5) = 7 (7x + 5)
48x + 40 = 49x + 35
x = 5.
Hence, Sachin's present age = (7x + 1) = 36 years.
7. The Ratio of Ages of Mona and Sona is 4:5. Twelve Years hence, their ages will be in the
ratio of 5:6. What will be Sona's age after 6 years ?
Sol. Let their present ages be 4x & 6x
Then (4x + 12)/(5x + 12) = 5/6 or x=12
Sona's age after 6 years = (5x +6) = 66 years
8. Ramu was 4 times as old as his son 8 years ago. After 8 years, Ramu will be twice as old
as his son. What their present ages ?
Sol. Let son's age 8 years ago be x years
www.bankingpdf.com
Then Ramu's age at that time = 4x years

Son's age after 8 years = (x +8) + 8 = (x + 16) years
Ramu's age after 8 years = (4x + 8) + 8 = (4x + 16) years
2(x + 16) = 4x + 16 or x=8
Son's present age = (x + 8) = 16 years
Ramu's present age= (4x + 8) = 40 years
9. A man is four times as old as his son. Five years ago, the man was nine times as old his
son was at that time. What is the present age of a man ?
Sol. Let son's age = x, then man's age =4x.
9(x - 5) = (4x-5) or x=8.
Man's present age = (4x + 7) = 35 years
10. The sum of ages of Aruna and her mother is 49 years. Also, 7 years ago, the mothers
age was 4 times Aruna's age. Find the present age of Aruna's mother.
Sol. Let Aruna's age 7 years ago be x.
Mother's age 7 years ago = 4x
(x + 7) + (4x + 7) =49 or x=7
Mother's present age = (4x + 7) = 35 years
12. The ages of A and B differ by 16 years. If 6 years ago, the elder one be 3 times as old
as the younger one, find their present ages.
Sol. Let A's age = x & B's age = (x + 16)
3(x - 6) = (x + 16 - 6) or x=14
A's age = 14 years & B's age = 30 years.

Explanation
1. Cost price of the article= (736+638)/2 = Rs 687
2. C.P of pair of trousers= (863+631)/2= Rs747
3.C.P = 630(100/100+20)= Rs 525
4.If selling of x articles is equal to the cost price of y articles then profit percentage=
x-y/x *100%
here x= 30 and y = 25
prefit percentage= 30-25/30 *100= 16.67
5. S.P of product = 80/100* 750= Rs 600

Profit = 25%
C.P= 100/125 * 600= Rs 480
www.bankingpdf.com
6. C.P = 100/80* 14500= Rs 18125
7. S.P of cycle= 92/100* 475= 437
8.Let cost of 1 m of cloth be x.

(x+10) * 145= 12325
x= Rs 75
9. Total C.P= 25*32 + 15*36 = Rs 1340

S.P= (25+15) * 40.20= Rs 1608
profit %= (1608-1340)/1340*100= 20%
10. Let the actual price of mobile phone be Rs 100

purchase price= 100-5= Rs 95
Selling price= 95 * 100+10/100= 95*11/10
% profit= (95*11/10)/100*100= 4.5%

Let the present age of these two persons are ‘x’ & ‘y’
(x + y)/2 = 46
x + y = 92
(x - 16)/(y - 16) = 1/2
2x - 32 = y - 16
2x - y = 16

5). b)
1).
Total domestic investment in 2011 = 5000 + 3000 + 4000 + 2000 + 2500 + 1500 + 3500 =
Rs.21500 Crore
Total foreign investment in 2011 = 2000 + 1600 + 2800 + 3000 + 2000 + 2500 + 1000
= Rs.14900 Crore
So, required difference = 21500 - 14900 = Rs.6600 Crore
2).
Total investment in Metals = 4000 + 2800 + 3500 + 2000 + 3200 + 2200 + 1500 + 500
= Rs.19700 Crore
Total investment in Machinery = 2000 + 3000 + 2500 + 3000 + 3600 + 6000 + 1000 + 1500
= Rs.22600 Crore
So, required ratio = 19700 : 22600 = 197 : 226
3).
Average domestic investment in 2014
= (6000 + 4000 + 1500 + 1000 + 4000 + 1200 + 2000) / 7
= 19700 / 7 = Rs.2814.28 Crore
4).
Domestic investment in 2013 = 4000 + 5000 + 3200 + 3600 + 3000 + 1500 + 2400
= Rs.22700 Crore
Foreign investment in 2011 = 2000 + 1600 + 2800 + 3000 + 2000 + 2500 + 1000
= Rs.14900 Crore
= (22700 × 100) / 14900 = 152.3%
5).
Average domestic investment in 2011 = Rs. 21500 / 7 Crore
Average investment in transport
=(2500+ 2000 + 1500 + 3200 + 3000 + 1600 + 4000 + 1000) / 4 = Rs.4700 Crore
So, required % = [ 21500 / (7 × 4700) ] × 100 = 65.34%
